I just went to the Dr. for my second Lupron injection and to get ...

Sweetie, thanks for taking the time to write this to everyone who suffers from the lupron injection. Im in limbo right now about what to do. My daughter is also 17 years old. She underwent the lap surgery in June and is due to start her first shot of lupron next week. She has to do a series of shots for 6 months due to endo and IBS. After reading all these tutorials there is more negativity than positivity. Im absolutely scared to death now to let my 17 year old go thru this. I had a hysterecotomy at the age of 27 because of all the same problems and dont wont my daughter to go through this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Thank you

I have been on Lupron for 5 months for endometriosis and will not be completing my treatment due to unconfirmed side effects. After the third injection, I began getting hives all over my body, nausea, weakness, blurred vision and very odd skin sensations. Not sure what to do, I began going to my primary care physician. After two months of mis-diagnosis, (Lyme disease being one) and two months of antibiotics, steroids and itching creams the symptoms persist. Now they are testing me for allergies. I have a strong feeling that they will not find anything. $400 dollars I have spent on co-pays and scripts...I just want this nightmare over. I am hoping these horrible; life effecting reactions will be over soon.

I've been on Lupron for 2 months now, and although I have had many side effects, the add-back therapy my doc has me on is helping tremendously. Nothing is untolerable, though I certainly have bad days... and they are bad. I would say fatigue, foggy thinking, irritability, joint aches and occasional blurry vision are the biggest hitters for me... the add back seems to have curbed the hot flashes. Since I have an extremely advanced case of Stage 4 Endo, this is my only hope of treatment before hysterectomy. Although it's been difficult at times, my experience has not been anything as terrifying or horrible as most of the postings you find online. Not my favorite time in my life, but certainly not horrendous either.
